    How do i move a comment box the the left side of a cell excel 2010

    Hi

    I have an excel spread sheet and on the last column on the right hand side I have some comment boxes but when I hover over them they pop up to the right of the cell, and then they are off the screen.

    I got help with the code from a member on this site so can I alter it to make the comment box pop up to the left side of the cell please

    Is it possible to adapt this code to get me the desired results or will it have to be a separate one

    Also i'm not sure if I have the code right because if I run the macro then open a comment box in the (M) column as in the code the comment box is the default size then if I run the macro again once I have the little red tick in the corner of the it changes to what the code says.

    As best I can tell, there is not a setting\property to change the "pop-up" location of a comment. Its' edit location can be changed, but not its pop-up location. I may be wrong.

    The code below will move the comment once it is visible and you select the cell. It doesn't change the comment position when you only hover. You have to select the cell. It's based on a solution suggested by mikerickson

    To install the code:
    • Right-click on the sheet tab with your comments
    • Select View Code from the pop-up context menu
    • Paste the code below in the worksheet's code module

    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.

    Hi AlpfaFrog,

    Thanks for the advice and the code you supplied. It seems that its not possible to make a comment box display to the left of the cell so the code above is just what I want, but I have seen the code that mikerickson had posted as the code below

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    I would like to adapt both codes so on clicking on the cell with the comment it displays to the left as the code you supplied but two rows down as in the one mikerickson posted above but I am not able to adapt both commands. I just don't know where to add the bit about two rows down

    Can you help me a little please

    Regards
